Sunday Evening Concert

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer often referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a “horn-like” improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. Tonight we celebrate her life through stories and song with singers who have been inspired and influenced by her in their musical careers.

I have always loved singing and my musical journey has been truly enhanced through Jazz Singers Jam Night which has created many opportunities for me to sing, perform and record across a range of jazz styles and ensembles.

I love seeing the confidence and creativity of other singers grow as they share the stage with some of the world’s finest musicians, engage with an appreciative audience and catch up with other singers at the monthly jam at the Brisbane Jazz Club.

I am delighted to support the second Brisbane Vocal Jazz Festival 2017 as one way of saying a big thank you to Ingrid James and the Brisbane Jazz Club for all the encouragement, guidance and support they give to jazz singers across all genres and generations.
